Astoria’s Best Waterfront

My husband and another couple stayed here for Reach the Beach weekend. The view was absolutely amazing, it was conveniently located to shops and restaurants, and the place was adorable! We will definitely be staying here again!

Unbeatable location

The location is right in the middle of downtown on a pier, with two parking spots included. So many amazing restaurants and shops within a short walking distance. Another reviewer mentioned crowd noise at night due to the bar next door, but they close by midnight and the is very quiet.

Amazing View

We loved this property! The view was absolutely amazing- we felt so cozy snuggled up by the fireplace while we watched the ships out the window. Very clean property and couldn't be in a better location - just steps to so many restaurants and shops. The host was so kind and helpful, and check in/out was a breeze. Also loved that it had reserved parking. We are in love with this property!

Would return without hesitation!

My husband and I spent a few days visiting Astoria. A great small city on the Columbia River, with a lot of history and good museums. The Wheelhouse is a beautiful, clean place to stay. The location allows you to easily walk around Astoria as well as quickly get on main roads. A reserved parking spot adds to the ease of staying here. Karen is a great host - very prompt to answer questions and ready to do whatever would help your stay be more comfortable.

50th Anniversary Tour

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Wheelhouse on Pier 11! The setting on the water, the character of the place, and the vibe of Astoria were all in synch. Our host thought of all the details to make our time there peaceful. The highest compliment that we can give is that we would love to come back again.

Great visit to Astoria

The unit was in a great area - close to lots of things to do. The setup of the house was convenient and worked well. We did miss having a lamp or two in the living room. We loved watching the ships on the river. Over all we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this place.

This is truly one of the best VRBO’s we have stayed in. The location is great, you can walk to just about anything downtown. The pics showing the Wheelhouse on Vrbo are spot on. The setup is great. If you love to watch ships and people this is the place to be. Karen the host communicates very well. We will be back

Convenient Location and Beautidul View

PROS,: This place is a beautiful loft apartment and the view of the river is amazing. It is immaculate and we felt safe. Beds are comfortable. Communication with the owner was easy. Shopping and restaurants are a short walk away and the trolley runs directly in front of the property where you can hop on. Considerations: It shares the Pier with a lounge that is on the bedroom side. It can get loud on the weekends. Not a problem during the week. There are bistro lights that hang across the Pier which are also right next to the bedroom windows. They are on all night. These keep the bedroom from being truly dark for sleeping. It can accomodate 4 comfortably. We found a laundromat 10 minutes across the bridge where you’ll also find a great Fred Meyer, Walmart and Costco.
